1 Samuel 4
1 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goes out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek,
Chak fwa Samyèl te pale tout pèp la te koute l'. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la soti pou y' al goumen ak moun Filisti yo. Konsa, yo moute kan yo bò lavil Ebenezè. Moun Filisti yo menm moute kan pa yo lavil Afèk.
2 and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and the battle spreads itself, and Israel is struck before the Philistines, and they strike among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
Moun Filisti yo pran pozisyon anfas moun Izrayèl yo pou yo goumen. Epi batay la konmanse. Moun Filisti yo bat moun Izrayèl yo byen bat, yo touye katmil (4000) moun konsa nan plenn kote yo t'ap goumen an.
3 And the people come into the camp, and [the] elderly of Israel say, “Why has YHWH struck us today before the Philistines? We take the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from Shiloh to ourselves, and it comes into our midst, and He saves us out of the hand of our enemies.”
Lè sa a, sa ki te chape yo tounen nan kan yo a, tout chèf ki te reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la di: -Poukisa Seyè a kite moun Filisti yo bat nou konsa jòdi a? Ann al pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki lavil Silo pou li ka nan mitan nou. Konsa l'a delivre nou anba men lènmi nou yo.
4 And the people send to Shiloh, and they take from there the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim, and there [are] two sons of Eli with the Ark of the Covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.
Se konsa yo voye kèk moun lavil Silo. Yo pran Bwat Kontra Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki chita sou fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo. Yo pote l' vini. Tout de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te la ansanm ak Bwat Kontra a.
5 And it comes to pass, at the coming in of the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH to the camp, that all Israel shouts [with] a great shout, and the earth is moved.
Lè Bwat Kontra Seyè a rive nan kan an, tout moun Izrayèl yo bay yon sèl gwo rèl, tè a tranble.
6 And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, “What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they perceive that the Ark of YHWH has come into the camp.
Moun Filisti yo tande rèl la, yo di: -Pouki tout gwo rèl sa a nan kan moun Izrayèl yo? Lè yo vin konnen se Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki te rive nan kan an,
7 And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp”; and they say, “Woe to us, for there has been nothing like this before.
yo vin pè, yo t'ap di: -Bondye moun sa yo rive nan kan yo a. Nou nan ka, devenn pa nou! Bagay konsa pa janm rive nou anvan sa!
8 Woe to us, who delivers us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These [are] the gods who are striking the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.
Ala devenn pou nou, mezanmi! Ki moun ki ka delivre nou anba men bondye sa yo ki plen pouvwa? Se bondye sa yo ki te voye tout kalite malè sou moun Lejip yo nan dezè a.
9 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest you do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you—then you have become men, and have fought.”
Se pou nou mete gason sou nou, nou menm moun Filisti, pou nou pa tounen esklav ebre yo menm jan yo te esklav nou an. Se pou n' goumen tankou vanyan gason!
10 And the Philistines fight, and Israel is struck, and they each flee to his tents, and the slaughter is very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fall;
Moun Filisti yo goumen rèd mare, yo bat moun Izrayèl yo ki kouri chape al lakay yo. Se te yon gwo kou pou pèp Izrayèl la. Te gen trantmil (30000) sòlda apye ki te mouri nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
11 and the Ark of God has been taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, have died.
Moun Filisti yo te sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a epi tou de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te mouri.
12 And a man of Benjamin runs out of the ranks, and comes into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head;
Yon nonm nan branch fanmi Benjamen an te pran kouri depi kote yo t'ap goumen an jouk lavil Silo. Li rive menm jou a. Li te chire rad sou li, li te mete pousyè sou tèt li pou fè wè jan li te nan lapenn.
13 and he comes in, and behold, Eli is sitting on the throne by the side of the way, watching, for his heart has been trembling for the Ark of God, and the man has come into the city and declares [it], and all the city cries out.
Eli menm te chita sou chèz li a bò wout la ap veye paske kè l' pa t' poze pou Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Nonm lan lage nouvèl la nan tout lavil la. Tout moun t'ap pouse rèl tèlman yo te pè.
14 And Eli hears the noise of the cry and says, “What [is] the noise of this tumult?” And the man hurried, and comes in, and tells Eli.
Eli tande bri a, li mande: -Pouki tout bri sa a? Nonm lan kouri pote nouvèl la bay Eli.
15 And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes have stood, and he has not been able to see.
Eli te gen katrevendizwitan sou tèt li, li pa t' wè menm nan je l' ankò.
16 And the man says to Eli, “I [am] he who has come out of the ranks, and I have fled out of the ranks today”; and he says, “What has been the matter, my son?”
Nonm lan di Eli konsa: -Mwen fèk soti kote yo t'ap goumen an, mwen chape kò m' nan batay la vin isit la. Eli di l': -Ki jan sa pase, pitit mwen!
17 And he who is bearing tidings answers and says, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter has been among the people, and also your two sons have died—Hophni and Phinehas—and the Ark of God has been captured.”
Mesaje a reponn, li di l' konsa: -Moun Izrayèl yo kouri pou moun Filisti yo ki touye anpil moun nan pèp la. De pitit gason ou yo, Ofni ak Fineas, mouri. Moun Filisti yo sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a.
18 And it comes to pass, at his mentioning the Ark of God, that he falls backward from off the throne, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dies, for the man [is] old and heavy, and he has judged Israel [for] forty years.
Nonmen nonm lan nonmen Bwat Kontra a, Eli sot tonbe sou chèz la, li blayi atè devan pòtay la. Li te fin granmoun epi li te gwo anpil. Nwa kou l' kase sèk, li mouri. Li te pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
19 And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant, about to bear, and she hears the report of the taking of the Ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she bows, and bears, for her pains have turned on her.
Bèlfi Eli a, madanm Fineas, te ansent, li t'ap tann jou pou l' akouche. Lè li tande yo te pran Bwat Kontra Bondye a, epi bòpè l' ansanm ak mari l' te mouri, lamenm tranche pran l', li akouche.
20 And at the time of her death, the women who are standing by her say, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son,” she has not answered, nor set her heart [to it];
Men, medam ki te la avè l' yo wè l'ap mouri, yo di l' konsa: -Pran kouraj, machè! Ou fè yon pitit gason. Men li pa reponn anyen, li pa okipe yo.
21 and she calls the youth Ichabod, saying, “Glory has removed from Israel,” because of the taking of the Ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Li rele ti gason an Ikabòd, epi li di: -Pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a. Li t'ap di sa akòz Bwat Kontra Bondye yo te sezi a.
22 And she says, “Glory has removed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been taken.”
Li t'ap di: -Wi, avèk Bwat Kontra Bondye yo pran an, pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a.
